Anyone have done this before?

I desperately need 5 more points under the new rules :( in order to qualify... I work for a big UK company at its branch in another country. Do you think it's possible to claim UK earnings if I was physically based at a branch outisde the UK but working virtually with the UK team? I got my bonus let...

After entering within 4 weeks and going through the registration process in the UK, is it possible to come back to my home country and then visit the UK only for job interviews? If I do that then when would they start counting time for the ILR?

Hi all, I qualify for a Tier 1 visa but I’d like to move to London only after getting a job offer as I’m now working and it makes no sense to leave my current job without securing another one. My dilemma is: should I apply for a Tier 1 only after getting a job in the UK? Or should I stamp the Ti...

True, that's a good point. I'm planning my approach regarding how to request my relocation to the UK. I'm tending towards saying that I'll take care of the Tier 1 visa myself so that my transition to the UK will be smooth If i volunteered to pay for the Tier 1 visa then perhaps they might be more op...

If i volunteered to pay for the Tier 1 visa then perhaps they might be more open to the idea of relocating me to the UK. What do you guys think? I want to ask my employer to relocate me to the company's headquarter in London on a tier 1 (general) visa. Should I volunteer to pay for the Tier 1 visa o...

Good point. Well, in 2008 I was disappointed that I didn't qualify for the skilled visa but a couple of months ago I visited the site again and calculated my points and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I do qualify based on my salary and education. So i'm just curious as to when the rules have...

In 2008 I remember I was looking into the skilled immigrant visa to the UK but the points awarded for previous earnings were different. When did they change them?

balak2, congrats! Did you tell them that you want the visa to start on April 15th or they picked that date?

Thanks, sushdmehta. Is this probabtionary or active citizenship?

1. Enter UK on Tier 1 / Tier 2.

After I enter the UK on Tier 1, I understand I will be able to get ILR after 5 years. After that, how long does it take to get British citizenship? What's the process like? Thanks!

Do we need to enclose a CV and/or cover letter when applying for a Tier 1 visa?

Thanks, Aruni My employer has stopped issuing paper salary slips last month. Now employees can view their salary slips on the company's intranet and print them out. Will these printouts still be acceptable as supporting documents when applying for a Tier 1 visa? Get them stamped and signed to be on ...

I'm thinking of applying to UK jobs from my country only after getting the Tier 1 visa stamped on my passport. Then I'll line up some interviews and enter the UK. After the Tier 1 (General) visa is approved, how long can I wait before entering the UK? Is there a deadline? There is no time limit to e...
